p { color: #000; } isn't working?
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
p {
color: #000;
}

Fix that and you should pass the challenge.
And happy coding!

As Steven pointed out, you've missed a closing brace for the h1,h2 rule above your p rule.
Try something like:
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
p {
color: #000;
}
Easy to miss, but practice makes better :)

Courses Plus Student 15,510 PointsOh!! I like that 'closer' Steven ... I think I'll use it!
How do you get the newline for the "And happy coding!" without actually having the blank line that is added when spacing it out in the editor; I always find if I add some text on the line immediately following another, it just appends.
Any other commenting tips you've picked up? I'd love to hear them (and learn how to use the forum editor better)
Thanks,
Dave.

two spaces
You can put two spaces at the end of a line to get an actual newline in the output.
You might enjoy the Markdown Basics course to learn about many of the formatting options for the forum. And there's also the Markdown Website for more information.

Courses Plus Student 15,510 PointsThanks so much!
I will take that Markdown Basics course when I get home! Oh! Thanks for the info on double space to create new line ... that's going to save people reading a lot of spaced out comments from me.
Kind regards,
Dave.
